Thistle24lilac7 - Awana

Four weeks already in the operating room with anaesthesiology department 👩‍⚕️

a literary discovered a new word even tho it’s not my first time in the OR , what makes the difference is being there from the beginning to the end of anaesthesia and making sure the patient is stable throughout the procedure

Why should we read the Bible?

1. Know God's will (Ps 119:105)

2. Grow in faith (Rom 10:17)

3. Receive instruction (2 Tim 3:16)

4. Receive correction (2 Tim 3:16)

5. Find comfort (Rom 15:4)

6. Find encouragement (Rom 15:4)

7. Share it with others (1 Pet 3:15)

8. Equip ourselves (2 Tim 3:16–17)

9. Overcome temptation (Ps. 119:11)

the right people won’t make you feel shitty for having bad days

28 things i learned at 28

you’re allowed to simply Exist. productivity is not a competition that you are constantly losing, and you don’t need to earn your rest

there will never be a moment quite like this one again - take the picture

leave your work at work! those after hours emails can wait until morning to earn your time

how hard you work doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated

on that note, it’s okay to way to be noticed or appreciated for how hard you work

you’ll never stop surprising yourself

don’t forget that everything you do, you aren’t doing it for numbers or notoriety; you’re doing it for your younger self who would be so amazed you’ve done what you’ve done

no one will ever be as hard on you as you are on yourself

give yourself a break from time to time

doing your best is, in fact, doing enough

you’ll earn that money back but the memories are irreplaceable

disney is, in fact, the most magical place on earth

spending time with your best friend will truly heal your soul in ways you can never explain

you’re going to say the wrong thing. you’re going to do the wrong thing. being wrong is a part of life you can’t avoid

your anxiety will be so loud, it’s okay to ask to be loved louder

getting lost in a book is a great escape unlike any other

the more you focus on your recovery, the more you’re going to notice the habits that lead you to choose recovery

don’t hate yourself for sucking in your stomach in photos

don’t be so hard on yourself for having to actively make the decision to eat

just because it doesn’t come naturally to you, doesn’t mean it’s impossible for you to do

you can do hard things

the bad days can, and will, be forgotten

the good days can, and will, happen

when in doubt, shave your head

you don’t need to or be anyone that you aren’t; who you are is just fine

you’re hurting right now; you haven’t been hurting the entire time

even though it can be hard to remember such a time, there have been moments without pain

it’s okay that you didn’t cherish them at the time

Thrilling ache

In the hush of winter’s embrace

she stood on a terrace

both bitter and divine

where moonlight drapes

a silken shroud

seeming to seek 

a love unfound

a touch that slips 

through ghostly fingers

each breath a mist

a fading prayer

to share one breath

a thrilling ache

each night a kiss

a prayer, a plea

the shadow she couldn’t set free

silhouette of silk and grief

fingers light

tracing fate

where throbbing hearts 

lose their beat

her body bends

but not her soul

her silver eyes, once bold

now tremble

desperate for him

not for me

chasing shadows

a heart in endless flight

"In the 21rst century, Make sure if you are Buying a house, Close your mouth. If you are Buying a new car, Close your mouth. If you are Getting married, Close your mouth. If you are Going on a holiday, Close your mouth.

*

If you are Going to do a course, Close your mouth. If you are Getting engaged, Close your mouth. The majority of your "friends or people close to you" want to see you do well, but Never better than them! That’s why when you fail they will be the first to open their arms and pretend like they care. So close your mouth, let achievements do the speaking. God bless"

It's so true most people are not on a journey of self improvement, low agency so someone else's hustle triggers them so they will do what they can to sabotage it even on an energetic level. Most people would rather be lazy and keep their limiting beliefs than level up so if they see you succeed they will go after you. Crabs in a barrel.

*

I had an incident with someone in the level up community who wasn't putting effort in therapy, in leveling up, in appearance, just reading all the books and implementing nothing. We met two years ago or a year ago I believe. Since then girls who started with us go their engagement rings some married, and definitely many girls had a date at Michelin start restaurant with a multi millionaire even if it did not go well in these groups. She was so sweet in the beginning. As she became more and more and more behind and struggled getting to above a coffee date and ladies around her were surpassing her, she became bitter and started passive aggressive behavior. For example she would deliberately contradict whenever someone who leveled up more than she did speak.

*

It's okay if you move slow but you try to implement something and are hopeful and move. We are all at different stages of the journey but the key is to keep moving. People who are not trying to always improve themselves lose hope and then get upset at others.

*

At Miss Universe all the ladies were nice to each other, opposite of catty, because everyone was on a self improvement journey. Our success depended on how well we did, not on other ladies. We are our only competition.

*

Even a lot of people who say they are on a journey of self improvement are not like the catty backbiter who was nice but after she was behind started back biting. Catina the BackBiter is actually a compose of quite a few ladies I saw and walked away from. I also notice this in person.

*

Don't show off. I didn't realize I was showing off but I got attacked for getting engaged and getting married by feminists I met at a conference. Its so funny now they are considered TERFS and the woke mob went after them later.

*

Don't trust people who are not actively leveling up and putting effort to be a little ahead next year more than this one, who aren't doing inner work and working on their limiting beliefs. Of course that means networking is difficult - then just keep it superficial with most people unless you see them passionate about growth.

*

Stagnant people bite. Growing people don't. Most people are stagnant so be careful who you share your joy with. Don't show your plans until they happened so that nobody sabotages you.
